Samsung Galaxy Fold
The Galaxy Fold is a new and game changing phone. On September 6th, 2019, Samsung released the first foldable phone in South Korea. This phone has many features that bring it to the next level.
The folding feature is a major improvement and makes its function much more efficient. When folded, the “phone mode” feature can be used. This allows you to use apps such as Google Maps on the small screen. In addition, it’s easy to hold and quite portable. When unfolded, the display is a whopping 7.3 inches.
This feature isn’t the only improvement.This phone is also capable of “power sharing”. Just place it on another Samsung, and it can charge.
Six cameras are another noticeable addition to the two cameras are located on the inside when the phone is unfolded. These cameras allow for experimenting with different artistic effects for your selfie. The last camera is a selfie camera for when you use “phone mode.”
This phone is a big gamble for Samsung. Although there are a few detracting aspects, the excitement of the foldability drowns out those doubts. This phone can truly be put to the test when it’s made available in America on April 26.
iPhone 11
On September 20th, the Apple company came out with the the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. These phones have many aspects that make them stand out among others.
The wide variety of colors has everyone hooked on the iPhone 11. The new iPhone comes in 6 different colors, while the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max come in 4 colors. One of the most significant internal additions to the new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro is the U1 chip. This chip allows the ability to pinpoint the location of items like a phone or a tracking tag. It could even be used to unlock your car.
The improvements don’t end here. The cameras are a noticeable change in the iPhone 11. These phones are capable of taking photos from 3 different distances. In addition, dark mode is also a new available feature. This mode allows for taking photos in the dark with much more detail. Smart HDR allows for recognition of faces, resulting in stunning photos.
These details make all the difference for the iPhone 11 models. With the variety and many improvements, it isn’t hard to see that the iPhone 11, Pro, and Pro Max are all amazing phones.
Airpods 2
In March of 2019, Apple released a second version of the Airpods 1, blowing us all away. This model, improved from an earlier December 2016 release, was the answer to many customers’ complaints.
While Apple has not confirmed this speculation, many Apple users believe that a new type of the classic device - Airpods 2 - will be released soon. These new Airpods are rumored to have many new features. There are no guarantees that this product will be available soon.
